Incoming Kindergarten Information
For the 2025-2026 School Year
A big welcome to our incoming kindergarten students and families! All students in Alameda Unified, including Franklin School held a Kindergarten information Night and kindergarten tours. These events were a chance for parents to hear about the Kindergarten program at their neighborhood school, receive information about the enrollment process for AUSD, and meet Kindergarten teachers and staff. If you missed it, that's okay! Here is the Presentation from that night and you can always call us with any questions. We request families new to Franklin school complete the Kindergarten Information Night Google Form so we can gather contact information for you and your child.
There will be two incoming kindergarten play dates this summer. The first will be on Saturday, July 12th from 10am-12pm. The second will be on Sunday, July 27th from 10am-12pm. These play dates are held at Franklin Park and are for all incoming kindergarteners. They are are hosted by existing Franklin parents who have incoming kindergarten siblings. They help our kindergarten families get to know one another in advance of school starting.
Our PTA is planning their annual Back to School Social on August 10th from 1-3pm. We hope you can join to see new and old friends and enjoy some sweet treats. For additional information about upcoming dates, you can check out our "draft" of our Important Dates Document for the 2025-2026 school year.
To be eligible for kindergarten next year, students must be 5 years of age by September 2, 2025 with a date of birth before 9/2/2020. More information about kindergarten enrollment can be found on the AUSD enrollment website.
We look forward to partnering with your family soon!
Thank you,
